Danganropa: Distrust is an Alternate Take on the events of the First Game. The victims, culprit and methods of murderer have all now changed in this version. Credit goes to SoulStealer_X2 and Superecho for coming up with the story and ideas for this alternate take on The first Danganropa Game. I am just converting their story and ideas into a fan fiction format. Let's go.

(Two mysterious figures were talking to each other. They were both wearing masks to hide their identity from the other)

? – "So you are about to start it"

? – "Of course. I need to enforce my plan in order for stomp out the rest of the Hope in the world

? – "I won't stop you but remember this, there is always a possibility that you might lose this"

? – "Upupupupupu You honestly think that I have not prepared if I lose this"7

? – "Fine, this will be a fun game and will prevent me from being bored.

? – "Let's play this game of Chess shall we".

(The figure looked at the chess bored and noticed that all the pieces were in place)

? – "Let the Games begin"

(One of the figures moved the pawn)

*Hope's Peak Academy in the morning*

? – There was a huge school building was built on a prime plot of real estate in the very center of the city, as if it was the centre of the world itself. Any normal person could look at that building and be amazed by it

? - "Hope's Peak Private Academy"

? – "It is a super-exclusive, super important academy that is , officially recognized by the government. The main goal of "Hope's Peak Private Academy" to gather and cultivate high school students who are the best in their academic fields."

? - "It is a school with many years of history, it is known as a legendary school because after graduating you are certain to get into the leading roles in every professional field time after time."

? – The main goal of Hope's Peak Academy is to raise the nation's "hope" that will lead Japan into its future. This is why many call Hope's Peak the "Academy of Hope".

? - To be accepted as a student, there are two qualifications:

"You must be at a high school"

"You must be the best at your particular field"

? "Also, every student much be invited by the school itself"

? "So, let's begin with a normal introduction. My name is Makoto Naegi."

Makoto Naegi – "To be honest I am just your average high school student"

My personality, my skills, my school record... There is absolutely nothing special about them.

Makoto Naegi – "I don't have any special hobbies, any mutant powers, nor am I good at sports..."

Makoto Naegi – "If you ask about my favourite pop stars, my favourite manga, my favourite music or my favourite movies,"

Makoto Naegi – "They're always the things that come out top in popularity rankings. It's the same for most other things as well."

Makoto Naegi – "I'm a person who runs away at the mention of "the king's road". An average person among average people."

Makoto Naegi – "That's me. Even this normal introduction reflects this, doesn't it?"

Makoto Naegi – "Well, if I'm forced to give one redeeming trait, I guess I'd say I'm a little more optimistic than most people."

Makoto Naegi – "There is a reason why an ordinary kid like me stands at a school like Hope's Peak Acadmey"

Makoto Naegi – "As expected, I was overwhelmed by Hope's Peak Academy's brilliant design.

Makoto Naegi – "Let me explain about yesterday evening's school entrance preparation."

Makoto Naegi – "The students chosen by Hope's Peak Academy are the best in their respective fields, someone has even created a special thread on a certain Internet bulletin board."

Makoto Neagi – "One of the students is a girl who is known as the "Super High-school Level Idol".She is the leader of a nationally adored idol group"

Makoto Naegi – ""Super High-school Level Baseball Player" is a guy who got admitted into this academy due to his skills at baseball.

Makoto Naegi – "There is a "Super High-school Level Fashion Girl" is a popular model who appeared on the covers of many magazines"

Makoto Naegi – " There is even a guy that accepted in the position of a "Super High-school Level Gang Leader" is the head of Japan's largest motorcycle gang"

Makoto Naegi – "In addition, there was a "Super High-school Level Fighter", a "Super High-school Level Heir", a "Super High-school Level Swimmer", a "Super High-school Level Otaku"…

Makoto Naegi – ""Super High-school Level Programmer", "Super High-school Level Gambler", "Super High-school Level Prefect", "Super High-school Level Fortune teller", and so on."o

Makoto Neagi – "...but there is also something that puzzles me.

No matter how much I search, there is no information about some kids on the list.

One of those is me, of course. An unexceptional kid with no skills.

But what about the others who don't come up in searches?"

Makoto Neagi – "As for the reason why a normal kid like me was even accepted into this academy. Well you can find the awenser in a letter I received

Letter Directed to Makoto Naegi – ""This year, we decided to accept one student chosen by lottery from among each and every one of the country's regular high school students."

"As a result, we invite you to attend our school as a person possessing "Super High-school Level Good Luck".""

Makoto Naegi – So basically the only reason why I even got here in the first place was because of luck"

Makoto Naegi – "Honestly, I should have just rejected the offer."

But after hearing that graduating the school leads to success in life, there was no way I could do that."

(I was holding my letter walking to the building. I finally got to the entrance and noticed it looked even better when I was close up)

Makoto Neagi – "Right now the time was 7:10am.

The gathering is at 8. Still 50 minutes left until the rest of the students arrive"

Makoto Neagi – "Maybe I should go ahead and explore the school for a while... It will help in easing the nerves in my stomach. "

(I took my first steps into the academy. It should have been charged with hope but I wasn't, something was off)

The moment I took that first step, my vision started to blur. It was as if the world turned into jelly, swirling around.

Round and round and round and round, slowly fading out...

And the next moment...

..Just darkness.)

Makoto Naegi – "That's when it started.

An end to my ordinary life.

At that moment, I should have realized.

It wasn't "Super High-school Level Good Luck" that brought me to Hope's Peak Academy...

It was "Super High-school Level Bad Luck"…"
